cheap prices, but not today

today i went shopping at a new consignment store that is near our house, i'm sure i'll be back several times this summer.  today their yellow tags were 75% off and their purple tags were 50% off. 

while shopping i came across this dress

it was a little pricey ($15!), but good dresses are hard to come by, so i thought i'd try it on first then decide.

i thought it was very cute, but could not commit to spending $15 on a single dress, even if it did have the original label on it.

i looked at the label one more time, to make sure it was really $15, and to check and see if i had the luck of picking up a purple or yellow tag.  the tag was green, and this is what it acutally said

i could not believe my eyes!  i thought that there must be a mistake, because this is a consignmnet store, not a boutique!  but the original tags were on the dress, so i looked at those for reference.

i almost passed out.  a $450 dress?  i was deliberating whether or not to buy it at $15.

needless today, i did not buy the dress, i'll leave it to someone who thinks that $150 is a good deal.
